Apple Mail · iPhone/iPad

Use your Clynde address in Mail on iPhone or iPad

Mail reads your forwarded messages from Gmail and sends replies from your professional domain address.

CLYNDE FORWARDING

OUTBOUND · FROM

You need two different passwords: your Gmail App Password for incoming mail, and your Clynde SMTP password for outgoing mail. They are not interchangeable.

Before you start

  • A paid Clynde plan with sending included
  • An SMTP credential created in your Clynde domain panel; copy its username and one-time password
  • DKIM and DMARC records shown in Clynde added and verified
  • Your Clynde alias forwards to Gmail
  • Google 2-Step Verification and a Gmail App Password

Step-by-step setup

1

Add an Other account

Open Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → Add Account. Choose Add Other Account. Do not pick Google, because automatic setup locks the outgoing server.

Enter the account details

Use your display name, your full Clynde alias as the email, your Gmail App Password, and any helpful description. Tap Next.

3

Complete both IMAP servers

Select IMAP. Gmail receives your forwarded mail; Clynde sends your replies.
